My Safe Place

 

The airport should be my healing place,
A refuge, a distraction from the race.
But now, it’s where my fears take flight,
A place that haunts me, day and night.

I didn’t know it’d affect me so,
The tears keep falling, soft and slow,
A trauma that lingers, deep and wide,
A pain I can't escape, no matter how I hide.

Even as I pack, preparing to go,
The tears flow freely, an endless flow.
Oh, how pathetic I must seem,
Lost in the echoes of a shattered dream.

Please, return to me my safe embrace,
A place where I feel grounded, a steady grace.
Now, I have nothing, nothing at all,
Just the weight of a life that continues to fall

safe love

when you find your people, the air feels lighter, your heart rests softer, and every smile is true. you don’t have to measure your words, or hold your laughter in your chest. even in silence, you’re understood, and love grows quietly, endlessly. but love is not a prison. if your wings feel clipped, if your light is dimmed, if you fear to shine, then listen to your heart, and think again.

Saturn

  one night, the sky turned gold, and silence felt like gravity, soft, invisible, inescapable. it told me; this too is part of becoming. i used to think home had walls. now I know it’s what lingers, like rings around a quiet planet. so I carry Saturn in my skin, not to escape, but to stay grounded while I learn how to float.

a Different Kind of Poem

  Not every poem wears the shape of love, some carry the weight of warmth unspoken, the echo of footsteps down quiet halls, the hush before dinner is served. Watched something last night, "1 Kakak 7 Ponakan", faces I didn’t know felt like mirrors. The way they laughed, argued, stayed, like they had nowhere else to be but with each other. It made me wonder, when was the last time I looked around and saw  enough ? There are days this place feels too quiet. But maybe it’s not the silence that’s hollow, maybe I’ve just forgotten how full it really is. They say time spent is the only thing we never truly own. Some spend it on screens, some in rooms filled with laughter. Not everyone gets to choose. And me? I’ve been chasing loud things, forgetting that the softest hours, the ones spent doing nothing with people who’ve always been there, are the rarest kind. We search so far for what’s already sitting across the table.
